Chapter 445 Is Lin Xing Going Crazy?
Since Lin Xing said that he was going to shoot a sci-fi movie, the industry has basically been discussing it.
But that's all.
Because no one about "Death on Earth" has been interviewed.
Or from the director to the actors, no one has responded to this matter.
Of course, if there is no refutation, it is true.
But everyone thinks that no matter from which aspect, "Death on Earth" will definitely start shooting, so everyone wants to know how the current actors are preparing?
More importantly, what does Lin Xing think?
Or everyone wants to know why Lin Xing did this this time? ?
So when Lin Xing came to Yang Tian's new drama award ceremony, naturally many reporters were also ready to interview him about this matter.
"Lin Xing, why did you take on the movie "Death on Earth"?"
"It is said that no one is willing to invest in "Death on Earth" and some people even withdrew their investment midway. Is this true?"
"People in the industry are saying that you are just playing around with "Death on Earth". Is this true?"
"Science fiction movies have long ceased to have any market in China, so why do you still want to try to shoot it, Lin Xing?"
...
Almost as soon as Lin Xing appeared, many media had surrounded him. Even without Lin Xing's promotion, these media began to ask questions one by one.
"Thank you for your concern. At present, the preparation of "Death on Earth" is going smoothly. I have always believed that Chinese science fiction movie fans are particularly respectable and lovely people. Even if they have watched so many excellent science fiction movies around the world, they still have hope for Chinese science fiction movies."
Lin Xing first signaled many media not to worry. This is his first official announcement.
After all, up to now, "Death on Earth" has always been kept secret from the outside world.
There are more rumors in the industry.
For example, Cao Ping, who wanted to play one of the leading roles, stood up the role, and the recently popular female artist Tan Nan also stood up the role.
These two have a good relationship with Sun Feng, and Tan Nan became popular because Sun Feng pushed her to play Sheng Fei's movie.
It can only be said that this circle is all about interests.
In the eyes of Cao Ping and Tan Nan, "Death on Earth" is completely unreliable, and it has been quite time-consuming. They might as well take on more other movies with this time.
Because of this, the two felt that Sun Feng could not do it from the beginning, so they slightly euphemistically said that as long as Sun Feng could get the crew together, the two of them would be willing to act.
But who would have thought that Sun Feng really got the crew together, and at this time Cao Ping and Tan Nan had to run away quickly.
Friendship is friendship, but they can't waste their time on "Death on Earth" when their careers are on the rise.
In addition to Cao Ping and Tan Nan, there are actually some actors who chose to run away.
This is something known in the industry.
In the eyes of the industry, if all the actors have run away, your crew must be no good.
Otherwise, why did all the actors run away? ?
This is the first reason.
The second reason is that Qintian Film and Television was said to have planned to invest in "Death on Earth", but they decided not to invest at the last minute.
The industry knows that Qintian Film and Television's investment is quite insightful, and many of the works they invested in are big hits. Therefore, Qintian Film and Television's withdrawal of investment naturally proves that they are not optimistic about "Death on Earth".
There is also a more direct point, that is, the copyright company behind "Death on Earth" did not invest.
In this section, there are actually quite a lot of discussions about "Death on Earth", but because Lin Xing has been in [Jingwu Hall], he didn't pay much attention to it.
In addition, whether it is Ding Chunling, Sun Feng, Wei Fei, etc., no one wants to talk to Lin Xing about this matter.
Because they really understand everyone's thoughts.
You know that science fiction is not good at present, or domestic science fiction is not good, so it is reasonable that everyone is not optimistic about it.
What made Sun Feng angry was that Cao Ping, Tan Nan and others could have said no at the beginning, but they agreed and then regretted it at the last minute, which was a bit fucked up.
Sun Feng even felt that he was embarrassed. You know, he had just told Lin Xing that the actors were almost agreed, but as soon as Lin Xing agreed, all the actors ran away.
Not only the actors, but also the props team, art team, etc. ran away.
Good guy.
Sun Feng didn't even dare to talk to Lin Xing. He felt as if he had fooled Lin Xing.
Fortunately, Lin Xing was quite calm. After all, if you make a movie with a theme that everyone is not optimistic about, it will naturally be questioned, and some people will even run away.
But Lin Xing always believed that this "Death on Earth" is not just a movie, it also represents a real "Chinese-style" special effects blockbuster.
Of course, this society now belongs to an era where even the wine alleys are afraid of the deep alleys, so "Death on Earth" Lin Xing needs to let everyone know that this is not an unreliable science fiction.
For this reason, in the face of many media interviews, Lin Xing first thanked the Chinese science fiction movie fans.
"I know that the movie "The Fall of the Demon City" made many people no longer have confidence in Chinese science fiction movies, but what I want to say is that the failure of a movie is nothing."
"And the failure of "Magic City Has Fallen" is inevitable. Not only "Magic City Has Fallen", but also the various fantasy and fairy blockbusters made in recent years. They are completely in the name of 'carrying up China's special effects blockbusters' The banner is making bad movies.”
"The special effects are bad, the plot is bad, and the most important thing is that the art aesthetics are even worse because they still follow Western aesthetics, especially the story logic of the script is 'Hollywood-style heroes'. This core is not our Chinese at all. style."
…
Many reporters at the scene were a little confused.
They just wanted to ask Lin Xing why he wanted to film "Dead on Earth"?
But why did Lin Xing start bombarding "Magic City Has Fallen"?
No.
Lin Xing not only criticized "Devil Has Fallen", he even criticized various special effects blockbusters in recent years.
"The reason why I wanted to shoot "Death on Earth" is because I think it is a science fiction movie that tells our Chinese story in its original form."
"I wonder if everyone has read the original work?"
"In the original work, this novel vividly explains to everyone what a 'community with a shared future for mankind' is, what a saturated rescue is, and what is the only responsibility in times of crisis."
…
Originally, Lin Xing came to attend the premiere of Yang Tian's new drama, but he ended up giving a lot of news to reporters.
This Lin Xing must be too brave.
No.
This may be Lin Xing's character. You must know that Lin Xing has always been so venomous before.
Lin Xing is already top-notch now, but he still seems to have the same sense of character.
Why was "Magic City Has Fallen" criticized by everyone back then? ?
Because this is not our own science fiction movie at all, it is even a typical Hollywood blockbuster.
For this reason, "Magic City Has Fallen" did not tell the story well, and it is precisely because of this that everyone keeps criticizing it for closing the door to science fiction movies.
And now "Dead on Earth" is also about to start filming, and then Lin Xing criticized "The Fall of the Devil". Of course, he not only bombarded "The Fall of the Devil", he also criticized some of them without naming them. Bad movie.
The problem is that these bad movies are all directed by great directors, even first-line movie kings, queens, and top-notch movies.
The key point is that it didn't bomb at the box office. Just like those movies adapted from "Journey to the West", the box office was pretty good.
For this reason, everyone felt that Lin Xing was inflated due to Lin Xing's bombardment.
Open the champagne at halftime?
So you believe that "Death on Earth" can be a box office hit?
"I still want to say that the current pre-funding for "Death on Earth" is enough, and the actors are basically discussed, but this movie will definitely take a lot of time, because our art set this time The most important thing.”
"I talked with Director Sun. This time we have more than 90% of the visual effects shots in the film, and the scenes span a huge range, involving four major scenes: the underground city, the ice field, the planetary engine control room, and the space station. In addition to the ice field, the other on-site scenery alone may exceed 100,000 square meters.”
"This does not include the actual scenes such as the space elevator that we will do next."
"What we are making is not a simple movie. On the contrary, what we are making is a special effects blockbuster that can change the entire movie landscape."
"I'm actually very dissatisfied. That's because many people say that we in China can't make special effects blockbusters. Even the special effects blockbusters we make are all Westernized and even copied from Hollywood. Even if Hollywood is already fifty cents, there are many People still think they are doing a good job.”
"Yes, this time our aesthetic style is Soviet industrial style, and the overall art design is mechanical, structural and industrial..."
…
"Okay, that's all I have to say, thank you everyone."
Lin Xing waved his hand and quickly entered the venue under the confused gazes of reporters.
"No, Lin Xing is crazy???"
"What did Lin Xing just say? He wants to make a science fiction movie that will leave a mark in film history??"
"What did Lin Xing say that this movie will have all real scenes set up??"
…
Many reporters know that most of the time the production costs of movies are very fictitious.
You are like a movie that is obviously all indoors, but in the end you dare to say that you invested 300 million.
There are also various modern dramas that obviously have no special effects or even any big scenes. They are just movies that look like sketches. They dare to say that they cost 1 billion to produce.
Anyway, this is what everyone in the film industry can boast about.
Take "Magic City Has Fallen" as an example. At the beginning, I dared to boast that I had invested 3 billion in the entire movie, and it would be released in three parts.
Even "Magic City Has Fallen" said that it was all shot in real locations.
This is similar to what Lin Xing is saying now.
This is a big scam.
Lin Xing came to the premiere of Yang Tian's new drama alone, and he quickly entered the court immediately after the interview, so many people in the court did not know how many stars Lin Xing had released at this time. Stared David.
"Axing, I was worried that you wouldn't come."
Yang Tian quickly came to Lin Xing, and then said with a smile: "Let's have a drink after the premiere. Don't run away today. I also want to talk to you about your new movie..."
"Sister Tian, you called me several times. I have to come no matter what."
Lin Xing said with a smile: "But Sister Tian, I'm filming a science fiction movie, aren't you afraid of being cheated?"
"Don't be afraid, there will be pitfalls."
Yang Tian said nonchalantly: "I was fooled because I didn't believe you in the first place. This time I believe you. And I heard that An Yifeng and Tang Yishan didn't even act and didn't dare to invest? Then I would be even more Interested..."
This was obviously not about movies, so Yang Tian just said a few words to Lin Xing and prepared to talk later.
Of course, this time Lin Xing didn't need to speak anymore in "Love Is Back".
In fact, the showrunners knew Lin Xing's character, and they were really afraid that Lin Xing would not give him any face.
So after watching the two episodes of "Love Is Back", basically some other actors came to praise it.
At this time, many people actually saw what Lin Xing said in the interview.
"Let me go, Lin Xing really shot a large area."
"No, is Lin Xing planning to stop being involved in domestic entertainment? He must have offended half of the domestic entertainment industry."
"If nothing else, Lin Xing shouldn't step into the movie "The City Has Fallen". It doesn't matter if you make a good movie. Don't go back and make a movie that's not as good as "The City Has Fallen."
…
Many people on the Internet feel that Lin Xing is a bit high-profile.
Even Ding Chunling told Lin Xing about this matter. Lin Xing told Ding Chunling not to think too much about it and that she should contact Wang Ruoan first.
"No, haven't you given up yet?"
Ding Chunling said: "Sun Feng has already contacted Wang Ruo'an, but Wang Ruo'an declined..."
"It's different. Wang Ruo'an didn't read the biography about him in "Death on Earth", especially since I think this role is quite suitable for him..."
Lin Xing waved his hand slightly: "Anyway, you will definitely see the Hundred Flowers Award. You should talk to Wang Ruo'an first."
"Axing..."
At this time, Yang Tian walked towards Lin Xing and said: "I won't read the original work of "Death on Earth". You know, what I dislike most is reading novels. Can you give me the script? ? Then can you give me the role of the female lead? I am willing to invest 30 million..."
Good guy.
Yang Tian is really generous, and he really dares to gamble.
Just bring capital into the group, and you also bring 30 million yuan into the group.
However, Lin Xing shook his head and said: "Sister Tian, you may really have no chance as the female lead because it has been decided."
"Huh? An Yifeng agreed again???"
Yang Tian's first reaction was a little surprised and he asked.
It was obvious that Yang Tian really felt that only An Yifeng could make Lin Xing reject him.
